I love you more than bacon

Ah Valentine's Day. A time to tell that special someone in your life just how much you love her (or him). And nothing says "I love you" more than... bacon. (Except, perhaps, if you are a vegetarian.)

Indeed, just imagine her delight when you present her with this aromatic bouquet of bacon roses. (I can just smell the love! Or maybe it's just bacon fat. I often confuse the two.)

A little too pungent? Never fear! These sweet and salty Vosges Gourmet Luxury Bacon Truffles will have her eating out of the palm of your hand this Valentine's Day!

Mmm... chocolate AND bacon....

Or if your sweetie enjoys a good cuddle (even more than she enjoys a good slice of bacon), get her the "I Love You More Than Bacon" Bear from the Vermont Teddy Bear Company.

Personally, I have a couple of reservations about this one. Namely that some people might get the wrong idea. (Ahem.)

Her: "You got me a bear dressed up as a piece of bacon, with a frying pan?!"

Him: "Hey hon, looking at that bear is making me hungry. Could you run down to the kitchen and fry me up some bacon? And while you're there, grab me a beer."

Ah, romance.

This Father's Day, show him you care with...

bacon.

Bacon, is there any meat more noble... or delicious?



So this year, forget the golf sweater, or the tie, or that goofy sign for his man cave, and instead give dad the gift of bacon. Because a plate of bacon is forever... (in your arteries).

(Sorry, Oscar Mayer. Love your ad "When Words Aren't Enough -- Say It With Bacon" and your cute bacon gift shop. But I'd rather get the spouse, aka the father of the teenager, this Beer & Bacon Gift Box from Vosges Haut-Chocolat than a package of Oscar Mayer bacon from the supermarket and a pair of bacon cufflinks.)
